Chapter 1270 An Old Couple and a Young Wife
When I came back, I passed through Cairo.
Compared with those modern cities in Europe, Deputy Director Kaga admires ancient culture and sense of history more, and it was only when he came here that he regained his energy.
He likes to wander through small shops full of history and culture and collect things with special cultural imprints.
However, the scenery of Egypt seems to have no charm for Mrs. Keiko. First of all, there is nothing to buy.
As for sightseeing, there are only the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Thirty minutes is enough to see those things.
However, despite this, the travel expenses and pocket money spent abroad are all borne by the public funds of TBS TV station.
Losing money at the casino is no exception.
This kind of official trip is generally very happy for the couple with a huge age gap.
When the older husband accompanies his young wife, playing around or attending cocktail parties and banquets, he looks particularly happy.
His wife likes to show her charming charm in public, and Shinichiro Kaga looks at her like a little girl and feels very satisfied.
Especially the last trip to Seoul, South Korea, made the two of them unable to leave.
Due to work relationships, Deputy Director Kaga also made some very capable friends in South Korea. They came from the chaebol system and held a reception for him in the most exclusive club.
At this time in South Korea, the major chaebols had recovered their vitality under the rule of Quan Douhuan, and they all belonged to the privileged class organizations, which greatly satisfied the vanity and hobbies of the directors' wives.
The elegant atmosphere and the exceptional reception made her very excited.
Needless to say, for Isako, such a trip not only allows her to travel to a foreign country to open her eyes, but also enjoys the courtesy and honor she receives in social situations as the wife of a station manager. This is naturally better than being a housewife at home. Much stronger.
So every time after returning to China, Isako, who was satisfied with her play, would always say to Mr. Kaga, "It's so pleasant. Please take me with you to the next international conference!" and then said to Mr. Kaga. As time goes by, care becomes more attentive.
Of course, Director Kaga was pleased with his wife's innocence, liveliness, and ease of satisfaction, and felt that she could enjoy herself to the fullest in her remaining years.
In general, in the past few days, although the conflicts between the couple mainly focused on the jealousy between Isako and Kaga's ex-wife and daughter, they were generally controllable.
Even if there is a quarrel, Shinichiro Kagami always has enough means to coax his wife to change her mind and become submissive.
Moreover, the two daughters do not often come to ask for money. If Deputy Director Kaga occasionally favors Isako and gives her more benefits in private, it will promote the harmonious relationship between the couple.
However, all this eventually became out of control because Isako opened a beauty salon.
While the husband and wife were both pleasantly surprised by the income from the side business of the beauty salon, Kaga Shinichiro also made an unexpected discovery.
For his wife who is financially independent and regards the beauty salon as her personal business, the majestic body of him, the head of the family, has not only lost its luster, but also seems to have lost all means of controlling his wife at the same time.
First of all, there is a lot of money in the beauty salon's account for her to freely use.
The wife no longer has to look at Kaga's face and can spend money as she pleases.
In just these few days, Isako not only bought a luxurious imported car, but also purchased a lot of clothing and jewelry. She even remodeled the rooms at home and built a garage.
Kaga Shinichiro couldn't blame his wife for spending money.
Because once he expresses this intention, his wife can refute it with business needs.
"Ah, what are you talking about? Now I am the president of a high-end beauty salon. How can I not have these things? Otherwise, let alone soliciting business, I will probably be laughed at by customers. . Besides, our customers are not ordinary people, they are all respectable people. If I didn’t have these things, do you think the customers would still have confidence in our store and come to the store with confidence? Celebrities, singers and hosts, everyone knows who I am. If I, the station manager’s wife, dress too shabbily when I go out, wouldn’t I be a disgrace to your husband? My dear dad, don’t you think so?”
In just a few words, he could stop Kagami Shinichiro's words with high-sounding reasons.
Secondly, the beauty salon's business is getting better and better, and it is making more and more money, which will inevitably take up more and more of Isako's time.
Gradually, the focus of her life has shifted. She has become more and more interested in taking care of business and business entertainment, and does not care about housework.
Kaga Shinichiro expressed his dissatisfaction with his wife for neglecting household chores. He believed that as long as the beauty salon has a professional manager, his wife does not need to run there every day, leaving him unable to even eat his favorite chowder.
But the result was still refuted by Isako in an understatement.
"No, no, you can't completely trust others. The manager is very capable, but he might change his mind at any time. I'm not saying that the manager is bad, but people are emotional animals, and there might be conflicts over something. . If we rely too much on outsiders and hand over the store to outsiders, we will be in a passive position, not to mention whether the manager will make some small moves behind the scenes, or whether he will always ask for higher treatment. It's not good that he caused some trouble in the tax affairs without telling us. If the tax bureau is responsible for it, I will be fined a large sum of money and have to bear criminal penalties, but you will regret it. Chang told me that companies’ tax evasion cases are often published in newspapers. Are they reported to the tax bureau by someone from within? In short, if you don’t do it, you won’t do it. , then you can rest assured that everything in the store is in your own hands. As for life, how about we hire a servant? You don’t have to worry about this expense, I will take care of it.”
When she said these words, she looked like a real strong business woman, and those proud experiences shone brightly on her facial expressions.
Even though Shinichiro Kaga was full of resentment towards his wife, he really couldn't find any legitimate reason to persuade her to return to the role of being content with family matters.
Even Isako was able to draw inferences from one instance, but complained and complained about her conscientious busyness.
"How do you know how busy I am every day? The customers in the store are all very high-level, and who of them is easy to serve? Besides, once the store becomes famous, even the wives of some big shots are attracted by it. I took the initiative to visit them. I got along well with them and established a relationship. Wouldn’t it be helpful for your career, dad?”
Precisely because the couple discussed this type of topic a lot, Director Kaga gradually became more and more unsure, because he never had the upper hand.
And this has further led to a more serious problem, that is, unknowingly, the family status of the couple has gradually reversed. The originally soft and submissive Isako disappeared and transformed into a capable business strongman, whose strong and stubborn temperament became more and more obvious.
Sometimes, she even clearly puts herself in a high position, commenting condescendingly on life and everything around her with an air of indifference.
This is what Kaga Shinichiro cannot tolerate the most. His originally stable family status has been despised.
For example, recently, in order to temporarily eliminate his wife's dissatisfaction and ease the relationship between the couple, Kaga Shinichiro once proposed to attend Ning Weimin's wedding and the couple go to Hawaii for a vacation together.
Because the travel expenses are paid by individuals, the distance to Hawaii is short, the travel expenses can be saved, and the stay time can be shorter. It is actually a very cost-effective plan.
However, this travel plan that must have aroused Isako's interest in the past failed to have the desired effect.
Isako's reaction was quite cold. She actually said without interest that she didn't have time to travel with her husband and had more important business arrangements to make.
Not to mention this, Isako actually complained in a contemptuous tone, saying, "When we get to Hawaii, it would be a pity not to go to Los Angeles. And now that we are in the United States, we have to go to New York in the east. Hawaii It's just a stopover on the way to the United States. We've been there several times, and it's really not interesting. It would be a waste to go there all the way at our own expense. Husband, I don't have as much time as you do. , I am very busy every day. If I have that time, I might as well do more promotional activities for the beauty salon. In my opinion, if you are idle and uncomfortable, you might as well try to get along with the directors of the TV station and think about how to move forward. Take a step forward. You should also make preparations for the retirement of the station director. What does it mean if you are just a deputy station director? Just hearing the name sounds great, but the salary is only equivalent to that of a director in a bank, not at most. Isn’t that just a professional job? Can’t you get into a better position? I always thought you had the best chance of taking over the position of station director and becoming the top manager of the TV station, but unexpectedly you didn’t. I am so ambitious and satisfied with my current life..."
This was such a big basin of cold water, which completely cooled Kaga Shinichiro from head to toe.
Originally, he wanted to take his wife to travel overseas with good intentions, but he did not expect to be ridiculed like this.
Especially for his work and position, his wife, who used to look up to him, became dissatisfied. This made Shinichiro Kaga feel particularly embarrassed. It was really embarrassing.
He also has a strong sense of self-esteem. After all, he is one of the more than a dozen senior executives in Taiwan. When did he receive such a cold reception?
What's more, couples like them are not a real couple and lack real trust in each other. The elderly husband is gradually unable to fulfill his role as a husband when facing a wife who is thirty-one years younger than him. various obligations.
He is even more sensitive and cares about whether he can maintain his dignity in front of his wife.
So Kaga Shinichiro really regrets it now, and he is also full of resentment.
If he had known earlier that his wife would be like this after having a beauty salon, he would never have agreed to make such a deal with Ning Weimin.
So after much thought, Kagami Shinichiro decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Ning Weimin after his wedding.
The purpose is how to change everything now and curb this abnormal momentum in his family life.
Since everything was caused by Ning Weimin's transaction, Kagami Shinichiro believed that Ning Weimin also had the responsibility and obligation to set things right and help restore his life to its original state.
Otherwise, he would not mind venting his anger on others and would terminate the follow-up cooperation that he had negotiated with Ning Weimin.
And this was the condition for him to agree to continue cooperation. The unexpected development of things had pushed him to this point, and it had nothing to do with money.
Although there are some things that are inconvenient for him to do, it is different when Ning Weimin does it.
However, if this thing really happens, how can Isako be willing to do it?
In fact, what Shinichiro Kaga doesn't know is that his wife Isako attaches more importance to tomorrow's wedding than he does.
Prepared quite expensive gifts for the newlyweds.
Of course, these gifts are not given for free. Isako still has requirements - she plans to ride on the popularity and hopes to get the stylists from her beauty salon to participate in the movie "Crazy Rich Asians" Hairstyling at work.
She knew that Keiko Matsumoto’s Fog Studio announced that it would invest 2 billion yen to shoot a movie for Teresa Teng, and she also learned about the filming plan of the movie from Keiko Matsumoto and Ning Weimin. It is a grand production with a gathering of stars. The two countries are cooperating again, and even Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan will join in the production.
Considering the current box office and influence of the movie "Li Xianglan", as well as the filming plan of "Crazy Rich Asians", it aroused great attention among Japanese movie fans as soon as it was released.
Isako shrewdly realized that if Matsumoto Keiko's second film after taking over Fog Studio was as successful as "Li Xianglan", her beauty salon and her stylists would become famous.
What's more, a diva like Teresa has to frequently participate in performances. She has to change clothes frequently when she goes on stage at solo concerts. Her hairstyle also needs to be changed frequently. She also has to be broadcast on TV. How many people are there? Behold!
If you can really gain her favor and trust, this is the best thing, and then the beauty salon will have a bright future.
The stylist who does her hair must also be eye-catching. This is easier to create a superhuman reputation than any celebrity who goes to her beauty salon in life.
In a daze, the ambitious Isako saw that her beauty salon was in full swing, becoming the number one beauty salon in Tokyo... no, the number one beauty salon in Japan.
This shrewd plan made her excited and excited.
For this purpose, Isako racked her brains.
Having tasted financial independence for the first time, she firmly believed that the beauty salon was her only hope. If Kaga Shinichiro died.
She can have a bright future as long as she owns this beauty salon.
It must be said that Ning Weimin was trapped in a cocoon.
Thinking back to when he decided to start with this couple when he was organizing awards for Teresa Teng, he never thought that he would get involved in such family disputes and marital conflicts.
However, this old couple still regarded him as a life-saving straw, and no one was willing to let go of him.
As for how he should choose among them and how to balance them, it is really a complicated problem.
